I guess those are very valid reasons. The explanation was a little convoluted and my lack of sleep prevented me from actually understanding most of it, yet I managed to decipher the last paragraph... so if I install CentOS 3.6 I´ll get OpenJDK7 as part of the system updates.... but the files are actually not in the install CD? did I get that right?. :-)
Sorry but I´m on low battery mode after near 20 hrs wo sleep... In any case, I´ll re-read your answer after a good night´s (or day´s) rest and I´ll surely understand it all.
Do a "yum search openjdk" and you'll see that java-1.6.0-* and java-1.7.0-* packages co-exist. I don't think you'll get the 1.7 versions in an update - you'd have to tell yum to install them explicitly.
